Cinquantenaire Park
About:
I had this shot in my mind for a long time... But the time has to be right. Only about 4 weeks in a year the sun will rise behind the arch and be of the correct height too show through it. These 2 weeks in Autumn are now past, it will happen again somewhere in March again.
Taken during morning rush-hour and everyone wants to get into Brussels and not out, that's why only white lights, actually the traffic wasn't moving very fast, at a steady pace of 10km/h. When I arrived there I thought sh*t no streaks possible, but it turned out nice, the advantage is no cars are moving lanes and thus four nice even streaks of white.
Noted on the Arch:
"Dit monument is in 1905 opgericht ter verheerlijking van Belgie's onafhankelijkheid."
translates to:
This monument was founded in 1905 in honor of the Belgium's independence.
In the full version this is clearly readable, I love my D800!
Location:
Cinquantenaire Park (Jubelpark), Brussels, Belgium
50°50'29.47" N 4°23'16.47" E
This image is also geotagged
Technical stuff:
HDR offcourse :) 9 shots to get the complete range of light. Merged in photomatix, selective deghosting and selected the light trails out of the longest exposure. Tonemapped in Oloneo. In Photoshop removed a nasty flare at the top of the arch. In Lightroom opened up the shadows to get some exposure back in the trees.
